On the acquisition Kim commented: “We were really impressed with MorleyandScott’s emphasis on providing not only a highly professional service but also a personal one – this is the same ethos we had built CeKim Associates on.”
Celia added: “We’re confident that together we can continue to deliver first class tax advice backed by the strength and breadth offered by a practice with specialist teams in the full gamut of disciplines. The objective is for the clients of both firms to benefit from the move and we’re all very excited at the opportunities it presents.
MorleyandScott partner Adrian Price said: “We’ve been looking to boost our private client portfolio for some time and the opportunity with CeKim Associates seemed like the perfect fit. The addition of Celia and Kim significantly boosts our specialist private client offering.”
The acquisition, which comes into immediate effect, sees Celia and Kim move to MorleyandScott’s Solent office in Hampshire joining the 38-strong team.[/private]
